Welcome to my blog! My name is Natalie Franke and I'm a wedding photojournalist and portrait photographer in the Philadelphia, Baltimore, & DC metro areas!

I specialize in capturing candid moments as they unfold and finding real emotion in each image that I produce.

I love my job & feel so blessed for all of the incredible friendships that I have gained through photography. I'm happy that you've come across my little piece of the universe! Take off your coat & stay a while!

Kira & Cameron's Session

There is such a chemistry between Kira and Cameron, that you are immediately drawn in from the moment you meet them! Cameron is a Towson Senior majoring in Marketing and Kira is a Freshman majoring in Special Education. They met at an on campus Christian Organization at the beginning of this year and have been completely inseparable since! We had such a great time and I know that this is a Valentine's gift that will never be forgotten!

Kira defied the cold weather with a gorgeous sleeveless top! I loved it!


As soon as we got a break it was time to warm up! Kira was freezing!

With a 6'4 boyfriend - Kira needed the famous jumping shot!

The docks made for the perfect photographing spot!



Smiling! =) Probably the only posed shot of the entire day!

A little sun and some blue skies!

And what is a trip to Annapolis without visiting the capital!?



We found this amazing patch of wheat grass & took total advantage!



Thank you so much for letting me capture your memories today! I can't wait to keep in touch with the both of you and hopefully see you up at Towson sometime this year!

Yours Truly,
Natalie Franke
